UberFacts, a popular online service with over 13 million global followership has published drug documents which indicted Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for narcotics trafficking and money laundering in the United States.
The online platform posted the documents on its official Twitter handle.
UberFacts shared the documents which was released last year by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Recall that Mr Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, has come under intense public ridicule and political onslaught for his role in an early 1990s drug trafficking case in Chicago.
Though, he has refused to comment on the narcotics affair, which has made headlines across the globe. But his allies have also made efforts to downplay the matter entirely as a trivial distraction to Nigeria’s democratic experience because it happened decades ago.
But Nigerians have insisted that the president-elect should come clean on his involvement in the case, which saw him forfeit up to $460,000 to the U.S. authorities in 1993.
